A major new endoscopy facility has opened to the public at Bradford Royal Infirmary, marking a significant milestone in the expansion of modern diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients across the region.
Delivered by Robertson Construction, the new two-storey facility includes eight procedure rooms and private patient pods with en-suite bathrooms, designed to improve privacy, dignity and comfort before and after procedures.
The building is physically linked to the main hospital to support inpatient access, while also providing a separate entrance for outpatients.
It has also been designed with flexibility to accommodate future growth in demand for endoscopy services over time.
McBains provided NEC Supervisor services throughout the construction phase, working as leading construction consultants on the project.
The firm collaborated with the wider project team, supporting contract compliance, quality assurance and communication between stakeholders, helping ensure the scheme progressed in line with agreed outcomes, with a focus on patient needs and long-term value.
Sustainability has been embedded within the development, with energy-efficient lighting, photovoltaic panels and intelligent building management systems contributing to reduced operational carbon emissions.
Landscaping and green spaces have been introduced to support biodiversity, and the vast majority of construction waste generated during the build was diverted from landfill.
The interior design has been developed to create a bright and welcoming environment that reflects the local community while supporting patient wellbeing.
“The new facility has been designed with patient dignity, operational efficiency and future demand in mind, and we’re proud to have played a role in supporting its successful delivery for Bradford Royal Infirmary,” said Rob Kirton, Senior Clerk of Works at McBains.
